I usually book a journey to London online, and when I get there I buy the one-day off-peak zones 1-6 Travelcard (itself costing just over £13). Using the CrossCountry app, I've found an advance purchase ticket from my local station to London Euston at a price I want to pay. I tried changing...

Yes, I'll get a bike reservation. What happens if I encounter a problem, and have to get the next train from Crewe to Glasgow? My ticket will be valid but I won't have a bike reservation for that later train, and there may be no bike spaces left on it.

I'm travelling from Worcester to Glasgow soon. I've found I can save lots of money if I split the journey at Crewe and buy two Advance Purchase tickets, namely Worcester to Crewe, and Crewe to Glasgow. So, I'll travel on the first train of the day from Worcester Foregate Street to Birmingham...

Does anybody know of a phone app that would sell me the PlusBus add-on along with my train tickets? I often buy the PlusBus tickets using a computer, but I'd prefer to have an app to be able to buy them on my phone.

Not that exactly.....but you're not far wrong! I've tried more than one online journey planner (by using the "travel via") option, and it's definitely valid using that route. It also would seem to work if I were to try the same thing to get to a certain part of Wales.

I'm not travelling to the station on the ticket: I'll be getting off-peak day returns and breaking my journey short somewhere along the route. It makes the ticket price to my destination station considerably cheaper.

Thanks, according to the journey planner, my tickets are valid via those routes, despite seeming unlikely. What if the train staff say my ticket isn't valid or that I "have gone the wrong way"? As I say, the routes I'm going aren't the usual expected ones.

Hi, I would like to see if a ticket from Worcester to a few other stations would be valid via (slightly unusual) alternate routes. I best not mention them publicly. Could somebody please assist me?

There's lots to read on this subject, so please forgive me if similar questions have been asked before. Can somebody please tell me if I'll benefit in any way from this station? I live on the Western suburbs of Worcester, 7 miles from Worcestershire Parkway station and and I don't drive a car...

Thanks for the recent replies to this topic. So far my plan is something like this: I arrive in Aberdeen early on May 3rd. I'm travelling around Aberdeenshire for two days. I've found a suitable camp site in Inverbervie (south of Stonehaven), in case I can't find a place to wild camp with my...

I'm still camping around Mallaig but I'm travelling to Scotland a few days earlier and travelling around Aberdeenshire for two days. Does anybody know any suitable places to do wild camping with my tent in the Aberdeen area, or say within 20 miles of the city? What about actually on the beach...

Great! The Harwich one is amazing.

I'd like to know, regarding cutting the journey short on an Advance ticket. - What are the rules if a passenger is taken ill and has to cut the journey short?

I want to visit the Orkney Isles this year, in particular Kirkwall. I'll say I want about 24 hours there (I'll be camping on the island for one night). I am partly interested in how long the journey would take, but to me it's more important that I do it the cheapest way. I'm travelling from the...

I suppose I'm thinking of worst-case scenarios which seldom happen. I bought the £6 Paddington to Worcester ticket (with the replacement bus from Oxford) a few months ago also, with no problems. There was just one other person who went all the way from Oxford to Worcester on the replacement...

Thanks for the info. I'm wondering - does the Travelcard's magnetic strip (on the back) record info such as the time I insert it through Hatch End's ticket gates (If it has ticket gates at that station)?

Thanks for working all that out for me. I was just wondering - in a scenario where that particular Hatch End train were late / cancelled, could it be proven that I had actually been on that train? (I could have been elsewhere on my Travelcard, missed my booked train at Paddington due to my own...

I got an absolute bargain price (£6), so I decided to go for it!

Thanks. I was thinking the same, leave from Hatch End as it's a National Rail Station. So say I leave on the 20.52 train from Hatch End. Does it mean that either if that train is cancelled or very late, I'll be covered if I arrive into Paddington late and miss my booked train? What if the train...
